This blog is about our lives in Aix en Provence, France. Some of it is about church planting, some of it is about kids, but mostly it's just life as it happens here.

November, where did you go??
It's been a busy month for our family. With work, school, a holiday and vacation, we haven't slowed down a bit! We were happy this month to have the girls home for two weeks (they have 2 weeks off school every 6 weeks), it's always nice to have a change of pace and let them sleep in some! They are at school from 8:30-4:30, and by the time we get home and they do homework, it's already 6:30. I feel like we hardly see them most of the time!
We were able to take a short family vacation to London last week, which was amazing. We haven't traveled much outside of France, but thanks to cheap RyanAir flights, sweet friends with a guest room, and free museums in the city, it's an affordable getaway!
We also had our friends Darren and Dana and their kids visit us from North Africa. It was a much too short, but very sweet visit, and the kids just loved seeing their friends again!
Last night we hosted 200 people for the annual [iccp] Thanksgiving feast, which was a great time! It's always so fun for our community to come together in such a big way to celebrate and fellowship with each other.
December promises to be a busy month, as well! We have the Annual Christmas Carol concert next weekend, Olivia's birthday after that, a birthday party for two of my girlfriends here at the house, Christmas, and of course a New Year's party here! So much to look forward to!

Saw you were reading The Introvert Advantage, so I couldn't resist telling you about my new book, Introverts in the Church. It just came out a month ago. Plus, my wife and I are traveling to Provence next summer, so there's lots of things on your blog I find intriguing!
i love in the first photo that lexi is getting picked on and just seems to be ignoring him. it made me laugh.
